Behind The Scenes

WE Consider is rooted in a "Flow of Respect"
of everyone's right to choose if they vaccinate.

We acknowledge and honor the fact that people within the Black/African American community have legitimate questions about the COVID-19 vaccine. We are sharing the experiences of those that were hesitant in hopes that their journey will help someone reconsider getting vaccinated.

There is a conversation that is being had and we are bringing that information to the forefront to support the decision-making process. The Black COVID-19 vaccine experience has had many systemic barriers. We don’t want to forget our history but bring awareness to it that will remove fear around the vaccine. We will dispel myths and misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine that lingers in our community.

Through this exploration of skepticism, we are simply sharing these stories for those that have been on the fence about vaccination that will support the notion to Reconsider. ReConsider for the Love of Family, Community, and Culture. ReConsider because regardless of Race, Politics, Religion, Economics, Age, Gender, or Personal Beliefs, COVID-19 does NOT discriminate. So, we are asking members of the Black community to get the truth and ReConsider what WeConsider.

These are our stories, told with our own voices, inspiring us to make our own choices.

Who We Are

The WeConsider campaign was designed by a team of energetic Black creatives, health educators, and community engagement specialists brought together by the Washington State Department of Health. The entire team is passionate about working together to celebrate and showcase Black voices in hopes of changing the narrative to influence community and culture.
